Alliance is not going to be anyone's fall guy and the party's stance poses a challenge to the DUP and Sinn Fein. Any new strategy must move beyond wishful thinking and nice sound bites about the need to live together in harmony. It must include... Full Article at Belfast Telegraph

I am glad that Sinn Fein seems to have, at last, recognised that the Irish people will make their decisions based solely on the ballot box and not the armalite. But it took them too long to realise this and it caused immense human suffering
I think the economic platform that Sinn Fein has put forward, and indeed the platform in relation to Europe, is not one that would commend it to me or the Fianna Fail party at this stage
The process led to what I believed was an inevitable place — an engagement with Sinn Fein and the DUP — an engagement which energised the peace process, liberated the political process and resulted in stable power-sharing institutions.
As a member of Sinn Fein and an Irish republican to have an email ending in .gov.uk does not rest easily
Now Alliance say the DUP/Sinn Fein are to be 'feared.' This is pinball politics, a party with a leader which swings this way then that, which deserts principle for office, which one day is firmly doing the DUPs business the next day tries to jump ship

I ensured that we delivered on an Ulster Unionist Party Manifesto commitment that we would stop the Sinn Fein proposal to introduce on-street car parking charges in a number of towns throughout Northern Ireland and we further delivered on the improvement to the Coleraine to Londonderry rail line that wa...
For all their moralising, Sinn Fein are reverting-to-type with the politics of the ballot paper in one hand and the cartridges -- €50,000 worth -- in the other
the contradiction for Sinn Fein is that the more they succeed in terms of the equality agenda the less their followers want a united Ireland
Sinn Fein challenged that figure, saying 27% of people voted for them, but you only have to look at Scotland where many more people vote for Alex Salmond, seeing him as a capable politician, than actually want full Scottish independence
